    Benefits may be progressive but the funding is regressive. Actually enduring the prerequisite significantly harder life? Also regressive.

    Lifting the cap would increase funding.

    It is welfare regardless, but lifting the cap and then paying the extra revenue out to people who don’t need it would not do much, so good call there.

    We are perfectly capable of taking care of one another, so technical explanations of why people actually have to suffer because yacht construction stimulates GDP are inherently suspect.
